Package optional provides a generic optional type for Go, inspired by Scala's Option, and Haskell's Maybe types. It offers a type-safe way to handle values that may or may not exist, eliminating the need for nil pointer checks and providing clearer semantics than (T, error) patterns or bare nil values. The core type Option encapsulates an optional value of type T. Unlike bare pointers or any values, Option[T] makes the absence of a value explicit and type-safe, preventing runtime panics from nil dereferences. Option provides safer and more explicit semantics compared to traditional Go patterns: Option integrates seamlessly with Go's standard library: Option is designed with memory efficiency in mind: The iterator-based design enables composition using standard iterator utilities. This allows complex optional value manipulations using familiar Go iteration patterns without requiring Option-specific utility functions.
